Words Of The World

2013 was an amazing and an eventful year. An year of happenings, awakenings, surprises, shocks, scams, shams, scandals, revelations, revolts, retaliations, system-quakes and clean ups. That's a lot to read out in a single line in a single breath. Imagine how much it is for a single year to absorb. This Christmas i was sitting with a friend of mine. He is from America and was in Delhi for a day. It was heart warming to know that he read my posts on the blog each time they were up. What surprised me was that he found me pretty much biased. He found me quite "Parochial"  with my ideologies. The word "Parochial" is a gift from him. Ha Ha! I will try my best to break out from that image of mine. And if i fail to do so, forgive me for i cannot deceive my own self. On 16 December 2012, a girl was brutally gang raped in Delhi in a moving public transport bus. This was not a good welcome to the coming new year 2013. But the consequenc...

If you happen to go through The Geeta, Sri Krishna says that there is no good and no bad. It just is. It is the human mind that segregates things, activities, moments, people as good and bad, happy and sad. And, one who is free from these emotions stands wise.  Perception is the key word. The way we look at things. It is not necessary that life of a rich man will be like a  path paved with flowers and life of the poor, a rough rocky ride. Be not surprised, if you see a man at the backseat of a Bentley talking over the phone with an angry face but, a man on a cycle or a bike riding all the way from work to home with a smile that enlightens the environment. It does not take to be a poor man to look at life as "The Vicious Circle". Neither it takes a Prince to call life "The Circle of hope". It might be other way round. The rich too was once poor and lived with a hope to be able enough to take care of his family and close ones. Being passionate is one ...

It was the morning of December 6 2013, that i was in my bed having morning coffee. As a daily ritual, instead of opening a morning daily in my hands i curiously opened Facebook in my smart phone. The whole news feed scroll had condolences and grief messages for a great soul that just moved into the god's house few hours ago.  Dreamer -  Thinker - Revolutionary - Visionary - Icon The Great Nelson Mandela People love the superhero they see in movies. If you ever wanted to know what a superhero looks like, your quest is over. Nelson Mandela is your answer folks! Out of what all i knew of this great human, i searched Nelson Mandela on Google. "Nelson Mandela, former South African President died in Johannesburg, South Africa few hours ago. He was an Anti-Apartheid revolutionary. He was the change maker in South Africa, often called out as South Africa's Gandhi." What a great introduction is that to the world. Totally startled by these few lines, i...

It's unbelievable yet so amazing, how media through it's various channels have conditioned our mindsets towards everything happening around us. Media is the new Messiah controlling our actions and reactions to what ever that takes place all around the globe. A fairness product launch is a different thing. But when you see a super star and a public figure in a T.V. commercial enticing the Indian males to use a product in order to get a lighter or a fairer skin tone, it does add to the bottom line of the product. And the bottom line or the revenues are not the only thing to work for. While you promote such products, you indirectly and maybe unknowingly, send out a message. A message that instills a sense of inferiority among st the dark skinned males.  There is Iran working on it's nuclear power plant project. But media showcases Iran as a threat to the globe because one superpower does not want Iran to stand neck to neck with it. A home is good with a basi...
